Lex Luther Returning For ‘Smallville’ Finale
Michael Rosenbaum will be back as Lex Luthor for the 2-hour Smallville finale on May 13th. His deal to return was signed Saturday.
“It feels like the stars are aligning, literally. We couldn’t be more excited about having Michael back,” executive producers/showrunners Kelly Souders and Brian Peterson said. “And as far as the way he returns… there’ll be no doubt about how Lex becomes the great rival in Clark Kent’s life. He is the villain of the story.”
“I’m simply doing it for all of the fans out there who made Smallville the great success it is,” Rosenbaum said. “I appreciate all of their passion, their relentlessness and even their threats. Ha ha. I can’t wait to hug the old crew back in Vancouver one last time and see all of my old friends once again….. Oh, and for Lex to become the badass he’s destined to be.”
My grin got HUGE when I saw this! I love Michael and I can’t wait to see his return! I was gutted when he left. I was always rooting for him, they can make him come across as evil as they like I will still see his heart underneath. He is one of those greatly complex characters. I can’t wait! =D Thanks for this jmcharries!!
I think this is very befitting for the finale. It’ll be good to see him back! 🙂
